>The funny part that all Scraper Sites use Ads by Google on them, that makes it even worst...

Not all. There are lots of PPC suppliers out there.

Also, lets be clear that the ppc ads themeselves do not give PR, just in some circumstances the scraped content (seperate from the ppc) has hard links. I suspect that in the last few months Google has got a lot better at detecting these sites so the link value is getting less and less.... but still good for other engines like yahoo/msn.
